Brand-New Campus | Opened December 2025 | Selecting our Founding Faculty

Preschool Head Teacher (Age 3 – 4) Architect of Readiness. Standard-Bearer of Excellence. Compensation: $20–$22 per hour (based on credentials and experience)

Full-time leadership role with strong classroom autonomy

The Opportunity: The Preschool classroom is the culminating experience of the Primrose journey — the moment where everything comes together. It is the bridge between early childhood and the formal world of elementary school. Families choose Primrose intentionally. They are looking for more than care — they are looking for readiness, confidence, and joy. That is what we deliver.

This is a structured, joyful, academically rich environment led by an educator who understands the weight and privilege of preparing a child for what comes next — and who delights in the magic of this age.

The Preschool classroom is full of questions, big personalities, laughter, imaginative play, and breakthrough moments that make you pause and smile. We are looking for a teacher who loves that energy — who sees both the magic and the momentum of this age.

The Role: As our Preschool Head Teacher, you will lead a classroom of four‑ and five‑year‑olds through a developmentally grounded curriculum that prepares them — academically, socially, and emotionally — for pre-kindergarten and beyond. Your classroom will reflect your joy, your planning, your standards, and your passion for readiness. You will:

Design and deliver daily lessons aligned with Balanced Learning® Preschool curriculum frameworks

Build early literacy foundations through engaging, hands‑on experiences that strengthen phonological awareness, print concepts, vocabulary, and comprehension

Develop early math skills: number sense, counting, patterns, shapes, and problem-solving

Foster executive function skills: self-regulation, attention, and task completion

Prepare students for kindergarten transitions, including school-day structure and behavioral expectations

Conduct ongoing developmental assessments and communicate results clearly to families

Lead strong family partnership practices — including conferences, daily updates, and milestone communication

Mentor and model for assistant teachers within your classroom

Who Thrives Here -- We are looking for a professional who is:

A skilled educator with deep knowledge of Preschool development and academic readiness (3-5 years preferred)

An intentional planner who values curriculum, creativity, and joyful learning

Confident in leading family conferences and delivering developmental feedback

A strong classroom manager who maintains high expectations with warmth

Credentialed and committed to ongoing professional growth

Understands that laughter and joy are cornerstones of the learning environment

Education: Degree in Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education required; Virginia teaching licensure or CDA a plus
